Do this you won't regret it - so much fun with great instructors
Do this you won't regret it - so much fun with great instructors. Sounds scary but at the end of the day, it's just a rush with an awesome view. Try and do it on a clear day, our day was a little showery but still worth it. The clouds added an extra dimension!

From start to finish a thoroughly professional and safe experience
From start to finish a thoroughly professional and safe experience. Dived with family and was an exhilarating experience. Beautiful views of Newcastle shoreline and Lake Macquarie. Go do a 15000 feet tandem skydive with them. And do not forget pics and videos combo for 159 AUD!
